So now I'm looking at big bore kits :P

450 can easily become 570 [evil]

Might trade the SD in on a 690...

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I think the 690 is the best compromise between big bike power and little bike weight [thumbsup]

And you can always put street wheels on the enduro but you can't put dirt wheels on the sm so the enduro is the better choice IMO.

The one hitch is that caliper relocation brackets to mount the bigger rotor and caliper on the Enduro are hens teeth at present
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

How's that?  There are a couple different sources I can think of.

Dont people just go with the stock enduro brake and the smaller rotor? I know not an ideal conversion, but the suspension wouldn't be set up for the street either. Its just a compromise to have both sets.

Not sure Warp9 does one for the 690. Their site is a bit of a mess, and listings are for KTMs upto the 560. Might be that it would fit the 690 also - but doesn't say specifically.
